79 Balliang Street, South Geelong, VIC 3220

Showcasing a stunning renovation, this circa-1891 miner's cottage presents a captivating blend of period charm and contemporary style with the complete transformation completed over the last five years.

Polished concrete floors make a striking statement in the open plan living/dining/kitchen zone, which is perfectly positioned to maximise the northern light. The cooler months will entice you to curl up by the wood heater, combined with the addition of hydronic heating (including in the slab) will have you comfy and warm at the touch of a button. The summer months will inspire you to open the bi-fold doors onto the deck for seamless open-air living. So why not host a casual gathering with loved ones? Or simply relax under the shade of the ornamental grapevine as you watch the kids play in the north-facing backyard?
